This gallery presents example results of modeling using different flexibility modes for various proteins, cases, or folds to illustrate how the modes work. Please pay attention to the legend, which shows the level of flexibility in Ångströms. The examples below include links to the corresponding jobs, allowing for a more detailed exploration of each case:

Flexibility mode: rigid.

The loop region shows greater fluctuations in the Rigid-pLDDT simulation, because it was predicted with lower pLDDT score by AlphaFold. The pLDDT scores are available in the job link for simulation with Rigid-pLDDT flexibility mode.
Dynamic fluctuations across different protein fragments: PDB: 2V4N
Flexibility mode: rigid-pLDDT.
Job link: https://lcbio.pl/cabsflex3/job/f3c2e0b103cfe4/
Flexibility mode: rigid.
Job link: https://lcbio.pl/cabsflex3/job/28dc78b9e410b3/
In the Rigid simulation, the region exhibiting the greatest fluctuations is the double beta sheet. In contrast, the Rigid-pLDDT simulation - which incorporates pLDDT scores - shows the terminal alpha helix as the most flexible region. The pLDDT scores used in this simulation are available in the job link for the Rigid-pLDDT flexibility mode.
Incorporating pLDDT scores allows the protein structure to exhibit greater flexibility: PDB: 3CW3
Flexibility mode: rigid-pLDDT.
Job link: https://lcbio.pl/cabsflex3/job/8a6fead2a49070/
Flexibility mode: rigid.
Job link: https://lcbio.pl/cabsflex3/job/fcff449f4d8328/
Using pLDDT scores to construct restraints allows to capture the dynamic movements in the flexible regions while maintaining rigidity in the well-structured parts. The pLDDT scores used in this simulation are available in the job link for the Rigid-pLDDT flexibility mode.
